[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, why would you wife have to do both drop off and pick up of child. You need to step up to the plate and do one. I wouldn't work either under those circumstances.[/quote]

Impossible to answer given the circumstances.  Maybe he isn't able to do one or the other.  Total BS telling him to 'step up to the plate' - you have no idea what his work schedule or responsibility is.

Yes, but I can see why his wife wouldn't want to do both. If he works such long hours, maybe his wife should be  home with the kid.
This guy wants everything, and he wants his wife to do it all.[/quote]

I think OP said he does the majority of the cooking, cleaning and laundry.  He contributes in his way, she contributes in hers.[/quote]

Oh please, do you really believe that he does the majority.  I know some men do, but somehow I doubt that.  I'd love to hear her side.  And he minimizes the effort to do drop off/pick up, pack up baby, get baby ready, etc.  My husband would tell you he helps... yea right.  Once a month he may load/unload the dishwasher.  Its been acting up for two months (I haven't felt like bugging him about it) and he just realized it last weekend.  [/quote]

No reason to believe OP is lying.  Note that his wife's reason for wanting to stay home / work part time is not because she feels overwhelmed (which one would expect if OP wasn't contributing) but because she wants more time with her child.  Of course, this was also posted in the money forum so we're getting way off track by having this discussion.[/quote]
